The Woman's Touch runs through our Magazines;

For her the Home-and-Mother Tale, and Scenes

Of Love-and-Action, Happy at the End—

The same old Plots, the same old Ways and Means.

The Theme once guess'd, the Tale's as good as told,

Though Dialect and Local Color mould;

This Style will last throughout Eternity,

While Women buy our Books—if Books are sold.
